Strategy Development
Categorizing your suppliers takes place after the initial supplier evaluation. Segmentation serves as the basis for proposed processes for individual suppliers as part of your supplier relationship management. We draft a strategy for the targeted processing and qualifying of your suppliers and then we show you which suppliers are worth further development, cooperation or partnership and the optimal way to do so. Systematically use the potential of your suppliers.
Supplier Qualification and Support
Suppliers who meet the defined criteria can be considered for more intensive support. In supplier development, the vulnerabilities established in the assessment process are taken as points for further development.
Depending on the situation and shortcomings, objectives and actions are prescribed to improve suppliers’ performance. For example, joint workshops can improve the quality of supply and harmonize processes.
Developing suppliers that are categorized as particularly strong enables you to fully exploit their performance potential, ensuring that you gain the right partners for strategic supplier integration. This means that suppliers can help to improve the company’s processes and products or even be integrated into your company’s development processes.
Training
Even a highly qualified procurement team, which achieves top terms in negotiations, needs the necessary skills to strategically manage supplier relationships. New challenges mean that your procurement department must accomplish a complex set of tasks.
As an interface between internal departments (e.g. product development) and external suppliers, procurement is the ideal method to use the potential of supplier management and promote innovation for your company. We train your procurement department accordingly and develop it into a high-performance team.
Measurable Results and Monitoring
Strategic supplier management also involves consistent supplier monitoring. Strategic monitoring goes beyond monitoring key indicators of supplier performance; above all, by highlighting risks and potential for development in the areas of processes, quality and profitability, the focus is on improving supplier performance.
This active monitoring ensures that you can exploit the potential of supplier relationships for the long term.
Supplier and Risk Management Backed Up By Real Data
Active risk management allows you to plan ahead and respond to market changes early. The crucial value drivers here are not in technology, but in the correct interpretation of the data generated along the value chain.
We design and implement an individual supplier risk management system for you that ensures regular supplier assessments and provides early warning mechanisms. You can then carry out active measures in the future to prevent risks in your procurement and avoid downtime costs. Data-based supplier risk management puts you in an optimal position for the future of digitization.
